Good things come to those who wait. I can just imagine Marietta's face. *G*

That was utterly adorable. Very snuggley. And I almost feel like a read a whole novel in under 1000 words.

[ciraarana]

Thank you very much! And it felt like a whole novel? That makes me ridiculously happy, because writing such short stories is incredibly difficult for me. So glad I managed! *beams happily*

To be honest, Marietta's fish-mouthed gaping was the image that kept my trying to finish this story. It was just too good to waste. :D Poor Marietta.

Thank you for commenting. :)

Squee! That was so adorably cute. I love how nervous both of them were about the whole thing. They're going to have an adorably happy life together. <3

[ciraarana]

Thank you very much! I'm glad you liked it. :)

Yep, they are going to be very happy, which will annoy Rigo's father a good deal, but he can't do anything. And Kenneth will build a swing for the porch, and then they will sit there and cuddle and look at their roses and be happy. :)

Very sweet, love ho happy his driver is, says so much about what kind of people both Rigo and Kenneth are.

[ciraarana]

Thank you very much! :)

Rigo's always done his best to treat the people who work for him well. He learnt that from his mother. ;)

Eeeeeee, this was so ridiculously sappy and adorable! I love it! <3 <3 <3 This is, like, the snuggliest snuggle ever!

The one thing I noticed: "trust her son could only access when he turned twenty-one" - should that be twenty-five?

Regardless, a very happy birthday to Rigo! Also, I love that driver. Can we keep him?

[ciraarana]

Thank you very much. :)

No, twenty-one is correct. Rigo gained access to the fortune his mother left him at 21, but full control over everything only at 25. She probably thought it was better for him to have four years to learn how to spend money, monitored by the trustees, before he got full access.

The driver, hm, I wondered whether he might convince Marietta that she liked him better than Kenneth. ;)

[yuliares]

Ahh, that makes sense. Smart mom! Even if it did keep poor Rigo and Kenneth apart for four more years.

Yay, side character romances! :D
